Geometric Herb Garden - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle by Pomegranate

This is a challenge folks. I am in the process of doing it a second time because I was missing one piece, and trying to work quickly makes it even harder, There is no quicker. Slow and steady will get the job done.

This garden was definitely a challenge. The closeness in colors between the various flowers, the prevalence of yellows and greens, and the relatively small areas of flower detail made the puzzle a nice challenge and required a lot of scrutinizing of detail. I enjoyed this puzzle very much.

I adore the quality of Pomegranate puzzles, but many of their images are of paintings (most are "Artpiece Puzzles," after all), where the colors sort of blend together rather than have sharp outlines. (The Charley Harper series is a wonderful exception.) These aren't the sort of puzzle images I enjoy. After seeing this image online, I thought it would be less of an issue and that the outlines would be sharper. But alas, it's definitely more painting-like. However, the image is gorgeous, and the quality if of course high. So it comes down to your image preference for puzzling. If you enjoy a painting-like image, then this is for you. If you're like me and prefer sharper outlines, either steer clear or prepare for a bit of a challenge.
